I contrast this experience with my Mars2. I literally took it out of the box ran the bed level process (1 minute) poured in resin and printed perfect rooks (chess pieces). The basic print is far beyond any detail I could ever have achieved on my Ender. The second print worked perfectly. I have printed dozens of prints with probably over a hundred gaming minis and had only a small handful of failures (either bad support design or too cold a temperature in my shop). Resin is just super easy to do successfully.
You mentioned process and PPE. Those are both legitimate concerns as is temperature.
First PPE. You will need a box of nitrile gloves. You will use 1-3 pairs per print.
I print in my shop with the printer in a cabinet the smell is pretty trivial in such a large space. I don't wear a mask but some people do. I don't recommend resin if you don't have a non living space to keep it.
You will also need a roll of paper towels handy.
You will need two tanks of alcohol or simple green for rinsing your prints. I use denatured alcohol from home Depot it is cheap and works great.
You will need some sort of uv light for curing unless you live somewhere with very reliable sunlight.
Resin has a very long shelf life. It is much better than filament which gets brittle after a few months out of the package.
Resin is a bit more expensive at about $25-30 per kg. But it goes a long ways.
From a cost perspective plan for at least $60 of initial outlay to get printing. This can go up to $200 if you buy one of the wash and cure stations.
Resin is unpleasant to work with, it stinks and makes my skin irritated on contact, don't touch it.
That said, it is so much easier to be successful with and even with the hassle and increased cost I use my resin printer 10 to 1 against my FDM. It is just easier to get what I want. I hope this is informative.
For those printing tabletop minis I recommend printing with a mix of 10-20% tough resin and 80-90% standard resin makes much more durable minis.
I'm not going to claim to be an expert, and my knowledge may be dated, that said... they both have advantages and disadvantages. In my opinion, the disadvantages of resin printers are enough to keep me away, and I think should keep any newbie away.
So what's good about resin printers:
1) Prices of the printers are generally comparable but I think resin printers are usually cheaper.
2) They are higher resolution and handle fine detail MUCH better than FDM.
3) They are usually faster than FDM.
What's bad:
1) They are substantially more expensive to operate. The consumables are much more expensive.
2) Build area is usually smaller than FDM.
3) I believe the mechnical properties and durability of the prints are susbtantially worse than resin.
4) I believe the unused resin (which is very expensive) has a shelf life.
5) Dealing with the printers and liquid resin is far messier and the uncured resin is often quite toxic. You definitely need PPE to handle it.
If you're looking to print a lot of fine figurines, or tabletop gaming figures, resin printers would be the best option. If you are looking to print mechanical parts, large parts, or use it infrequently, FDM is DEFINITELY the way to go.
For me each of the disadvantages are basically a deal killer.

I was curious about what people use this model for due to its size limitations. Maybe h
Just for models and figurines under 4"x7.6"???
And, is there spools of resins proprietary, of can use other, possibly cheaper alternatives.???
Thanks.
